Tanzanite was first discovered in 1967 in Tanzania, Africa. The mineral was named by Tiffany & Co. after Tanzania, the country in which it was discovered. It is a rare gem that is found only in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Tanzanite is the bluish-purple variety of Zoisite. It often appears to change color when seen under different lighting conditions. It is more blue under fluorescent light and more violet under incandescent light. Tanzanite in its rough state is usually a reddish brown color. It requires heat treatment to bring out the blue violet of the stone.

Tanzanite is useful for turning negative emotions into positive ones. It can instill quiet and calmness, reduce stress, and may help with depression and anxiety. It is often used in communication with spirit, and aids in visualization and meditation.
